Hello, The kg/h should be about 14 to 18. I am not sure as to the voltage but this would correspond to the kg/h reading.As far as the injector pulse width there is not any published information that I know of.One thing I would suggest checking is the vacuum lines going to the injectors. These come up from under the intake manifold. Also check the crank-case pressure. should be about 3- 6 hg. It is not uncommon for the ventilation valve to fail. This is located on top toward the back of the intake and is a round black plastic. Of course a vacuum leak will alter the measurement of the air meter and skew the entire mixture. By unpluging it you are actually richening the mixture as a default. This also makes me think you have a severe vacuum leak.Jacob.

Answer

What is the airflow reading?Have you checked the crankcase ventilation?-"vent valve"If the ventilation valve is good, and there are no vacuum leaks ,fuel pressure good, it does sound like an airflow meter.

no p0101[120] or p0110[121] codes

the only code is p0443[113] which i dont see as the cause

what would be the final answer [correct]?
airflow or dme

Answer

If you have checked all of the above stated and are known to be good then an airflow meter. Be sure to check the ventilation system first as this can cause an internal vacuum leak.
